>
> KafkaConsumer store its offsets state always as union state. I think this is
> only required in the case that partition discovery is active. For jobs with a
> very high parallelism, the union state can lead to prohibitively expensive
> deployments. For example, a job with 2000 source and a total of 10MB
> checkpointed union state offsets state would have to ship ~ 2000 x 10MB =
> 20GB of state. With partitionable state, it would have to ship ~10MB.
> For now, I would suggest to go back to partitionable state in case that
> partition discovery is not active. In the long run, I have some ideas for
> more efficient partitioning schemes that would also work for active discovery.
